Permanent Hair Removal – Electrolysis
The best solution for removing all unwanted hair permanently is achieved by an experienced Electrologist.
Electrolysis is one of two ways for permanent hair removal. Today, laser hair removal is also effective and in most cases permanently removes unwanted hair. To kill the hair root, a fine sterilized probe is inserted into the hair follicle, and then a tiny amount of electrical current is released. Then the hair follicle is permanently removed with small forceps. I also use a Gentronics Epilator- the state-of-the-art professional hair removal system using Blend, Flash, Thermolysis and Galvanic Multiple Needle.
Permanent Hair Removal Methods & Techniques Used by Electrologists
There are two variations of Thermolysis, “Manual” Thermolysis and “Flash” or “Automatic” Thermolysis. Flash Thermolysis uses a split second impulse of current, while Manual Thermolysis requires several seconds at a lower intensity to achieve permanency. The “Blend” method, combines both currents together in the same probe. Thermolysis enhances the action of the galvanic method to produce a faster process. I will select the best method for you based on your hair type, skin characteristics and sensitivity, which will assure you the greatest maximum comfort and permanency for your hair problem.
Permanent Hair Removal & Excess Hair Growth
There are many factors that can contribute to the growth of excess hair and can contribute to more electrolysis services required to keep the hair at bay. Heredity Normal physiological changes Malfunction of the endocrine system Medication Topical influences Stress
How effective is Electrolysis Treatments?
Many hairs will be eliminated with only one treatment, but some will need two or more treatments to achieve permanency. Electrolysis involves a series of treatments over a period of time. The length of time depends on the amount of hair, its coarseness, the cause of the excess hair and many other factors, but once the dermal papilla has been eliminated, the hair is dead and will not re-grow. Re-growth from treated follicles can occur if the root was not successfully destroyed the first time. (This usually happens when the area has been tweezed or waxed, causing follicle distortion.)
How safe is Electrology?
The Electrolysis procedure has been around for over 100 years. It is a safe and permanent procedure, if done by a trained professional. I have had extensive training and many years of experience with Electrology and have been doing this procedure since 1993.
